Steamed Chicken with Mushroom and Black Fungus

I wanted to recreate this dish that my mom used to cook for us. I am not sure what exactly she put into it but I remember there were chicken, mushrooms and ginger. I can’t call to ask her as it was very early morning there in Malaysia when I wanted to cook this. This dish is easy to make, just marinate everything together and steam it. Although it is not exactly taste like how she made it but nevertheless it taste delicious and it goes well with rice. I have to remember to ask my mom about this dish the next time I talk to her.

1. Place chicken, mushroom, black fungus and ginger in a heat proof bowl. Add in all the seasonings and mix well. Allow it to marinate for half an hour.
2. Prepare the steamer and bring the water up to a rapid boil. Sprinkle the wolfberries and red dates on top. Steam the chicken over high heat for 15-20 minutes, making sure it is thoroughly cooked.
3. Remove from steamer and sprinkle on spring onions before serving.

Oh goodness me!I can't keep up with you..lol!I only managed to make the pomelo salad yesterday... Without the pomelo, of course... Sigh!I'm making the miso salmon as I'm typing this and now I see you posting this nice chicken dish!So little time but so many things I want to cook and eat.. Lol!

I grew up eating dishes like this - you can vary it slightly, just had shredded soaked chinese mushrooms and sliced red dates; with baby black fungus, red dates and dried lily bulbs, or like I had it after the birth of my son, with crunchy black fungus, lots of ginger shreds and red dates. Any way is delicious! The seasonings sound what my mum would put in - probably not the chinese wine though. :)
